I can't believe she's gone

Today has been a very sad and heart breaking day for me. My fubaby of 14 years, Pooky, went to sleep in my arms as she was terminally ill and I couldn't watch her waste away in front of me. She just had no quality of life anymore.

I've had my puss since she was 6 months old. One day she wandered into my back yard and into my heart, and she never left. She was a very spoilt princess, but the best cat anyone could ever ask for. When I lived on my own, she was my constant and only comanion in the house, and offered me her unconditional love which I will never forget. I could never stay angry with her for too long. When I got pg, she was very clingy and wouldn't leave my side.

RIP my beautiful princess, see you on the other side one day.

Love you to bits and my heart is broken. There will never be another you.

Your mummy xxxx

:hug: I'm so sorry for your loss.

May she rest in peace.

I hope she's having fun in cat heaven chasing mice and eating all the juicy fish she can fit in her tummy. xxx

Awww :crying: its never easy losing a pet! they are such an important and big part of your family! im so very sorry for your loss :hug: just try and think she is in a much better place - and goodbyes arn't for forever :hug:

Ohh sorry to hear that, She is now pain free and playing in heaven.

xoxo

Massive :hug:

Regards,
Dianne

May Pooky be enjoying her new life on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Thank you ladies for your kind words :grouphug:.

Sopdet, I love the quote about Rainbow Bridge, thank you :hug:. I really hope it exist, and we can be with our loved pets once again some day.

Beata - you know, I have a theory about our pets. Those we love most and who show us unconditional love - they let us know when it's time to go.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss this week - I'm actually in tears as it's reminding me of my dog, Rex. I think your wonderful Pooky is letting you know, in her own way, that you're moving onto the next stage of your life, and you don't need to worry about her any more. She knows that soon you'll be holding another baby, who'll need more time and care than can be shared with her. She knows that it would be really hard for you to share your love and time between your new bubba and her - and she's lived a great life, and wants you to move on with great memories of her.

This is her gift to you - letting you know that her season in the sun is over, and she's moved into her autumn now, as you enter into spring with your new baby.

Your baby will know her - she's heard her purr in your belly, and felt the love you've given and recieved from Pooky. This will stay with your baby forever. S/he will wonder why s/he feels such love for cats - and that's Pooky's gift to your baby.

Farewell Pooky. Enjoy your run in the autumn sun over the rainbow bridge, and know the tears shed for you here allow the flowers to grow where you are now, to give you butterflies to chase until you meet your human again.

Kazbah,

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much your post touched my heart, I am crying now.. Your words and wisdom is beautiful, everything just makes such perfect sense, it's just what I needed to hear today. I have been looking for my baby girl since she had to leave me, I constantly expect to see her beautiful little face around the corner. Only a couple of weeks ago, she jumped on the couch with me and practically sat on my big belly, purrying away happily. I thought at that moment, this little man will know you when he's born! I took some photos of her then, funny how I had an inkiling she wasn't going to be here for a long time.

I am so sorry for the loss of your doggie Rex. May he too be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, and in the mean time enjoy all the food, treats, the sunshine and his friends there.

Thank you again for your beautiful post, it has made me feel better about Pooky's passing. I miss her so much, but I know she is not suffering anymore and one day we'll be together again.

Thanks Kate, she was my best buddy ever..x

So sorry.

Sorry to hear you lost your furbaby :hug:

:hug: I'm so sorry sweety :hug:

I'm so sorry for your loss I just lost my puppy last week and somebody printed out the rainbow bridge poem on beautiful paper and sent it to me I found it just lovely, not that the pain of losing them is any less but it gave me a bit of peace thinking of her running around having fun and pain free.

Huge hugs for you sweety xoxo

Sorry for the loss of your furbaby :crying:

Thank you everyone once again for your replies and for caring :grouphug:. Life seems to be passing in a haze still, the more days that go by the more I realise she's not coming back :(

Awwww :hug:

Oh hun. Big BIG hugs to you. I wish you strength. I do not want to ever see that day with my furbabies.

I watched Marley and Me last night, DS and i cried like babies and then hugged our oldest furbaby, who is almost 13yo.

I wish you ALL the strength in the world.

beata70 - just thought i would pop in and see how you are going? :hug:

Oh Bea :hug:

It's so sooooo sad xoxoxo

I been tossing up if I should post this or not. But I lost my cat last year. She was very sick and I was distraught. I was really a mess for ages. Before she was put to sleep I read this poem to her a few times. Yes I know a crazy cat women (who is crying now lol) but she was basically my baby. I read it for a few weeks every day and it seemed to help me. I DO WARN YOU THOUGH IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE UPSETTING
I just thought maybe it could help you get threw this time like it did me

Through life's journey we took a ride,
The times you spent by my side,
You always were there as my best friend,
But we knew one day, there would be an end.
Heavens doors are open, just walk through the gates,
In this Animal Kingdom sunshine awaits,
To a place you can run free, never grow old,
A world full of freedom, rivers of gold.
Towards the rainbow, you can play and run,
Or in the green fields, you relax in the sun,
Under the trees, just rest in the shade,
As this is the place where dreams are made.
No pain or suffering exists in this place,
Only fields of endless happiness, butterflies you chase.
Beyond the hills you lead your friends,
As my broken heart tries to mend.
When I light a candle and whisper your name,
This shall become forever, an endless flame.
When you look down from pet heaven, see tears on my cheek,
Make me strong please my baby, day by day, week by week.
When I look amongst the stars for you,
I can see you shining in heaven, it's true,
Just wait for me, I'll see you one day,
But now my friend, just relax or play...
